Capt. Tom,

Your logic is flawed. First of all, no one lures someone into their home to be robbed. Second of all, Geraldo is absolutely correct. Many of these people are LURED here. I worked for a company that actually had an in house coyote that made trips to Mexico for that purpose.

Those who discount the “luring” are either ignorant, are employers, or are in the pockets of employers in some way.

Most who discuss this issue publicly, as did GR and O’Reilly, are quite cowardly in what they choose to mention. If you listen to a number of them over time there is one common thread. They either refuse to discuss employers, or they relegate a minisule amount of time to pointing to employers as being the genesis of the whole problem.

This may be a little off topic, but may portend the future. In Mexico property seizure of Americans who had bought Mexican real estate was a major news topic in the 90's. Americans who had leased land there to retire had their property seized after they had made extensive property improvements, such as homes, etc.

Given the large Mexican illegal immigrant population, clamoring for the same rights as Americans in the Southwest, it would not be at all surprising if the property seizure process continued stateside for "non-Mexicans" sometime in the future if things continue as they are. The reason, of course, is the stated objective of many of them, which is a reconquest of the Southwest. If you really get to know these people, they are keeping to themselves, unlike other generations of immigrants, because liberal politically correct policies are not encouraging assimilation. They are not adopting English as their primary language, on balance, and they are not socializing with other Americans, as they had in the past. This says volumes about their private thoughts on the "reconquista" issue.

Of course, the U. S. Government's position on illegal immigration is that they are doing work "that Americans won't do". This all has the smell of a very sinister conspiracy on the sovereignty of the country and property rights of legal American citizens by the Administration and the U. S. Supreme Court when combined with the illegal immigration issue. I refer you to the recent U. S. Supreme Court decision affirming the right to use eminent domain to seize private property, then pass it on to a private developer, ostensibly because doing so would revitalize the area, thus increasing tax receipts.

If you look at Mexican law on the issue of property rights you will find that only under certain circumstances can foreigners own property in Mexico. Furthermore, having traveled in Mexico, I'm aware of how those who work for the Mexican government have been able to obtain property not available to foreigners, or even their own citizenry, because of the special advantages they have for working within the government when it comes to acquiring real estate.

We Americans are inviting the same sort of corrupt practices in our own country if this issue is not resolved.

In my view the best way to do this is through the employment verification process, which, by the way, is vociferously being fought by immigrant rights groups because they know this is a solution that would work. It would be self funding through employer fines levied at amounts that would discourage future violations. It could be done humanely by forcing employers to pay the illegal aliens in their employ the going wage for their work. The aliens could have deducted from this the U. S. Government's deportation costs before they receive their net pay.

This may be a little off topic, but may portend the future. In Mexico property seizure of Americans who had bought Mexican real estate was a major news topic in the 90's. Americans who had leased land there to retire were evicted after they had made extensive property improvements, such as homes, etc.

Given the large Mexican illegal immigrant population, clamoring for the same rights as Americans in California and other states in the Southwest, it would not be at all surprising if the eviction process continued stateside for "non-Mexicans". The reason, of course, is their real stated objective, which is a reconquest of the Southwest.

Gee! I wonder what it looks like inside! The last intellectual we lived next to left the door open so she could find the exit.
